Hello everyone!
How long did it take for you  to make the first sale from the day of creating your account ?

There is no specific time frame. It depends on the subject, title, description,tags, type of product, how much competition there is in that niche, for example, wedding invitations or graduation cards etc. Also how much interest there is with the public, time of year, sales definitely  increase during holidays. Where your product places when doing a search is another factor.
I made my first sale on zazzle 18 years ago, couldn’t say exactly how long after I began with zazzle, so in short, no one else’s sales matter, only yours, when you are working on your shop.

Welcome to Zazzle ion!  About 4 months to make 1st sale, at least a year before 1st payout!  Differs for everyone! Heaps of designers now, so you need niche products!    Jillian

A few months. A small rubber stamp. Until months later I didn't even find out that it was sold several times... Hahahaha! 5 years ago of that! Now sometimes a product is sold within a few days of posting it. It depends on many factors, there is no standard for this.

two months, but it didn't gain momentum right away, just lately I feel that there is some consistent movement.

but don't stress about it, keep going (that's what I tell myself the most: keep going!)

if we have a good product for someone, made with intention and unique, someone will find it, for sure!

good luck 🙂

For me it was a month after joining, but for me it has stopped since then...Still I am trying everyday so that i can make better designs and get a niche...it has been almost 5 months now... https://www.zazzle.com/z/alrak1gx?rf=238256191185136513 

For me 5 months is still too little time. It's been a year since I started and I still consider myself a newbie.
every day I discover new things and there is still so much to learn.
almost all the products I made in the first months no longer exist, they didn't have views or had a lot of views and they weren't selling, I took them down.
so, the best products are yet to come, are next to do:) after learning even more about this market.

it's a journey, good luck 🙂
